 Simply
Forgiven is a
southern gospel group from Chatsworth, Georgia. The group consists of Angie
and Tim Wilson, their two children, Jennifer and Jordan and Toby
Westmoreland, Angie and Tim’s nephew. After many years of
prayer and heart searching, these individuals began to travel
and sing occasionally in 2005. Demand for the group has steadily
increased
since their beginning. This family group combines close
harmony with
spiritual singing to present a time of anointed worship whenever
they appear in a church or auditorium. It has never been about
the size of the
crowd, it has always been about the privilege and ability to
sing about Jesus to a group or congregation of any size. Whether
the attendance is large or small, this group still delivers the
same amount of effort. Simply Forgiven never charges any
church a “fee” for singing and never demands any kind of
monetary compensation. A “love offering” is always
appreciated and welcomed to help meet the financial obligations
for the group to travel. No person in the group receives
any pay or compensation for their participation. The group
does not sing or produce their products for profit. All funds
are used to maintain their ministry and cover their expenses.
Simply Forgiven records with RLH Studios in Eton,
Georgia. Studio owner, Richard Hall has served as
executive producer and sound engineer on all the group's
recording projects, to date. The group is available for
bookings on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as some dates during
the week. Just call for further information –

Jennifer
Wilson is a vital part of Simply Forgiven.
She sings lead on many
songs and is able to sing any harmony part that is needed.
Jennifer is 18 years old and is a Freshman at North Georgia
College and State University.
In high school she was very active, especially in the fine arts
department where she was in advanced art, advanced chorus, she
competed in the school’s one-act play competitions, and the
spring musical. She was a part of the school Chamber Choir and a
Choral Council representative. Jennifer competed as female
soloist and female dramatic interpretation for literary,
representing Murray County High School. She placed second in
both categories.
She loves playing her guitar and often played and sang for the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes in high school. Jennifer
performed in many school concerts and musicals as well. She won
numerous talent contests. Her final year at Murray High, she was
voted most talented by her senior class. Though we are proud of
all of her accomplishments, the one we are most proud of is that
she is a born again child of God and as she sings you can see
and feel His anointing all over her. Jennifer is a member of Mt.
Carmel Baptist and is very active in church activities as well.
Jennifer has just completed her first solo CD, which is expected
to be released sometime in July of 2008. The CD is entitled,
